10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Oxford

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary depending on demand, so it is advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and have access to a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years of age may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure that you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is required to hire a car.

Where can I find an Oxford hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car hire companies that are in Oxford. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Oxford with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a hire car. Please read the regulations before booking!
